I have a suggestion for exchanging phone numbers on here. Is it possible to where if I send one member my verified phone number they can not see it till they send me their verified phone number? Last time I was on here I had a member that I sent my number to but text me using a number from another country.

If there is enough interest in this, I can certainly add this option.

That's the modus operandi of scammers which is why you should always be wary when a user texts you from a country not listed in their profile. In these cases, ask them to send you their verified phone number and communicate through that number to be safe.

If the women send their verified to somebody how do they know that the other user will text from their verified number? I mean it seems to me that it would be safer for everybody if nobody could receive a phone number unless they both get the other user's verified number at the same time. You Andres have always been a fair & honest owner but above all, you are truly concerned about everybody feeling safe. I feel that if the verifed phone number is to work for the saftey of both users then what I suggested would be the best solution to solve any scammer to verify one number but use another number to text from.
